We're Home!!!!


Wow, what an adventure this has been. We left China headed for Newark, NJ and the plane ride was fine. Karsynn did great seeing that we were on the plane for 15 hrs. and 19 min. Wow! What an experience with a 9 mo. old. I just kept watching each minute and each mile tick off the television screen praying the whole time that it would pass swiftly. NOT! We arrive in Newark and Karsynn was officially a US citizen. Our flight from Newark to Cleveland was delayed two hours, so we missed our connecting fight in Cleveland to Lexington. Many friends and family members were anxiously awaiting us in Lexington, but it would not be so. We were forced to stay the night in a Sheraton in Cleveland, paid for of course by the airlines. We made it home on Saturday about 9:30 am. There were so many wonderful friends and family members waiting for us. We are so blessed. It was great to see everyone. It was even greater to know that our journey was almost over.


Mommy and Daddy are suffering from a terrible bout of jetlag, mommy more so than daddy. Karsynn also seems to be suffering from the time change too, she's only sleeping two hours at a night, so we're exhausted. Karsynn also has a head cold, so we had to start her on a round of antibiotics. That long plane ride wasn't good for anyone's health.


We want to thank you all for following our journey to China. It was truly the most amazing, life-changing event in our lives. Karsynn is worth every mile, every worry, every headache, every tear, every bad lunch/dinner, and every sleepless night. We'll all be settled soon and will look forward to a lifetime of happiness. I will continue to post updates on the blog, so please keep checking in. God bless! It's so good to be home. There's no place like home.

We are just happy to have you home. Karsynn is such a cutie! She will eventually start sleeping through the night. It is a big change for her, just like it is for you. Can't wait to see you guys.

Glad to see that you are home! Karsynn is gorgeous. You probably know this, but try getting her out in the morning sun. It helps sets her clock to our time. Good luck!

Hi Sammi,

Hope everything is going well since you've been home. Karsynn is such an angel!

When you have a spare minute (ha,ha) I would LOVE to hear how your experience was with AHH, since they are our agency too. I would SO appreciate how things went with the agency staff.
